Past Summer Screening Events
The Beaver Believers
“The Beaver Believers” is a charming yet sobering tail of the unique individuals who are fighting to restore the North American Beaver to the watersheds of the American West.
From filmmaker Sarah Koenigsberg:
“Beavers can show us the way and even do much of the work for us, if only we can find the humility to trust in the restorative power of nature and our own ability to play a positive role within it. Shot in 8 western US states, Mexico, and Canada, through desert drought, raging wild fires, spring floods, and the peaceful calm of wetlands, this film will change the way you think about climate change and inspire you to take a bite out of the challenges we face, one stick at a time.”
Edited by Chris Cresci with an original score by Andrew Barkan, this special documentary is not to be missed!
ICEolation
Two People, two weeks, two kayaks.
Sophie and Ewan took a journey beyond wilderness, a self supported journey via sea kayak to connect with an uninhabited land of ice and penguins.
The film takes you with them on their journey from the preparations of planning such an expedition, through the challenges and riding the highs of Antarctica.
Boy Nomad
Boy Nomad follows a year in the life of 9-year old Janibek, who lives with his family in Mongolia’s Altai Mountains. His first love is racing horses, but this winter, his father will bring him on the toughest journey in a nomad’s life: the winter migration. When the film crew arrives, they discover the Altai is gripped in a “zhut”, a hard winter that blocks the passes and threatens to wipe out the family’s only possession: their animals.
Carrizo Plains - A Sense of Place
Carrizo Plain - A Sense of Place is a cinematic journey into a remarkable remnant of early California — the Carrizo Plain National Monument. Explored through the eyes of three artists, Chris Chapman, John Iwerks, and Bill Dewey, the Carrizo Plain comes to life in this 32-minute documentary that reveals the special character of this hidden landscape. Through their personal sense of place, we discover what makes the Carrizo Plain National Monument and places like it so important for us all.
Range Rider
As wolves reclaim the wilds of Washington, range rider Daniel Curry attempts to bridge the divide between ranchers and predators and prove that coexistence is possible.
